melvin van peebles' masterpiece


what no posts on this board yet? this is a GREAT MOVIE. i don't know how to describe it...it took me a while to get into but i was really glad i gave it a chance. "hallucinatory soul" is the only way i can describe it. i've seen 3 of van peebles' other films (the story of the 3 day pass, sweet sweetback's badasss song, watermelon man) and i think this is his best film. i might like watermelon man more in a way but i think this film counts more as a true peebles film cause that was a studio film that he didn't write the script and wasn't as hands on in the making (i think).
